Pakistan hangs man over rape, murder of 6-year-old girl

In June, the country's Supreme Court rejected his appeal, and last week Pakistani president Arif Alvi refused Ali's request for a reprieve.

After he was sentenced to death for raping and murdering Zainab, Imran Ali was convicted for similar crimes against six more girls.

LAHORE: As per the court orders, Imran Ali, convicted of raping and murdering seven-year-old Zainab and several others, will be hanged in the Central Jail Kot Lakhpat today (Wednesday) at 5:30am. The girl's uncle was also present at the jail.

An ambulance had also arrived at the scene, accompanied by a brother of the convict as well as two of his friends.

The deceased father had asked the court to publicly hang the convict but the court took out the death sentence inside the jail premise on October 17.

The incident triggered nation-wide street protests in Pakistan with people demanding a harsh punishment for the 23-year-old accused.
